  1. Constant crashing - can't even move an object

    Have updated my illustrator to the most recent version 29.1.

    Using Mac OS Sequoa 15.1.1 - M1.

    1. I would make changes, scroll to another section of my frame. Return back and my changes were then 'reverted'.

    2. Every time I open the app it lags, spinning wheel of death, and all i'm doing is trying to maybe zoom in or out, copy or move an object.

    I have reverted to old versions, reinstalled etc

    It's a small file, good computer with heaps of memory.

    Illustrator is basically unusable at this point and can't do my work. .

  2. Color set through Appearance section Properties conflicts with the one from dedicated Appearance panel.

    Some features in Illustrator are quite strange. For example, if you set a color in the Appearance panel of the Properties panel and then add a color in the independent "Appearance" panel, the object will have color A+color B overlap, but the color set in the Appearance panel of the Properties panel cannot be reflected in the "Appearance" panel.
    The Appearance panel in the Properties is different from the individual Appearance panel, which cannot be understood.

  3. Align to key object doesn't work properly

    Mac Studio 2022 Apple M1 Max - 64Gb memory
    Mac OS Sequoia 15.1
    Illustrator (Middle East) 29.2.1

    Alignment to key object SOMETIMES doesn't work as expected. I cannot figure out which are the specific cases.
    When dealing with text boxes there is no difference between Roman Hanging punctuation ON or OFF.
    I numbered the screenshots according to the issue.

    1. TWO TEXT BOXES:
      I'm right aligning my text box to another text box. It right-aligns it to the right border of the selected text box with small margin (in this case 0,26mm). The right border of the text box is shifted…

  4. Color cannot be changed in compound paths and/or is not displayed correct

    In compound paths, the color cannot be changed directly via color fields or the pipette. The set color and color codes are displayed correctly under “Appearance”, however, nothing changes on the drawing area and the compound paths retain the fill color and outline color with which they were created.

  5. Illustrator Beta Font Selection Panel Disappearing Problem

    When the pop-up font preferences panel opens, which is an easy selection area, the window that opens to select a font disappears when hovering over it with the mouse. The font preference preview panel closes before making a selection. It occurred after the last update.

  7. Illustrator friert bei Copy ein

    ich arbeite mit einem Dell Precision 7560 PC unter WIN 11 Vers. 10.0.22632 mit Illustrator. Ich habe einen Prozessor 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1185H mit 2.5 GHz mit 8 Kernen
    Ich habe seit geraumer Zeit das Problem dass Illustrator extrem langsam wird. meine Dateien sind klein un bestehen nur aus wenigen Vektor-Linien. Das Problem tritt auf, wenn ich Teile anwähle und mit Command C in die Zwischenablage kopiere. Dann wird die Darstellung ****, alles friert ein, das Rädchen dreht sich und manchmal werden die Fenster und Bedienfelder Schwarz. Nach einigen Sekunden funktioniert dann wieder alles. Nachdem das ein paar mal…

  9. 当我的链接图片达到100张以上时,会有个漫长的保存过程 Allow to disable proxy images for missing links on saving

    最近Illustrator的更新中有一个项目。
    是让断开链接的图片。
    还能在Illustrator中显示一张降低画质的图片。
    这项更新给我带来了,非常大的麻烦。
    当我的链接图片达到100张以上时,会有个漫长的保存过程。
    这在以前是不需要的。
    以前当我把保存选项中的几个可选项都去掉的情况下,链接的图片无论有多少,保存都会瞬间完成。
    这导致我虽然排版时,电脑运行流畅,但不敢保存,保存会消耗大量的时间等待,我只能在完全排版好后,保存1次。

    A recent update to Illustrator included a project.
    Is to make unlinked pictures.
    It can also display a reduced image in Illustrator.
    This update is causing me a lot of trouble.
    When I have more than 100 linked images, there is a long saving process.
    This was not necessary before.
    In the past, when I removed several options from the save options, no matter how many images were linked, the save was done instantly.
    As a result, although I typeset, the computer runs smoothly, but I dare not save, saving will consume…

  10. 箇条書きテキストの不透明度が勝手に変わる

    箇条書きを適用したテキストを含むファイルを保存後再度開くと、箇条書きテキストの不透明度が、初期設定から「不透明度:80%、合成モード:乗算」に変わっています。
    全てのデータで起こるわけではありませんが、一度この現象が起こると何度不透明度設定を元に戻して保存しても、次に開くとまた変わります。
    コピーしたファイルも同様です。
    既出、解決済みの問題でしたらすみません。

    使用しているバージョンは28.5です。

  11. Character Information in the Properties Panel does not work

    The following bugs did I found while working with text (selected):
    - Font selection is blank
    - Font search does not give a result
    - Font style does not update
    - Colour does not update or shows a wrong colour

    This all happens even though the Character Panel works fine.

  12. Latest version of illustrator (v29.1) does not export pngs with the same pixel placements as the one before.

    Export from the new version of illustrator places artwork off center: Up and to the left slightly. This causes SO much work in our pipeline, please fix this urgently.

  13. Errore sconosciuto all'apertura di un file dwg.

    All'apertura del file dwg generato con autocad (il quale l'ho sempre aperto con Illustrator), non sono più riuscita ad aprire alcun file dwg. Mi compare la scritta "impossibile completare l'operazione a causa di un errore sconosciuto [UNKN]"
    PS: non mi fa caricare il file in oggetto

  14. Lighting preview is missing in 3D and Materials panel in Ai 2025, Undo does not work for 3D rotation, performance is slow

    Why is the preview for lighting missing? And why is the render so slow? Also why is there no undo option to take you back to the previous rotation position??!!!! This is Illustrator 2025! Horrible.

  17. Spot colors converting to Magenta when saving .PDF files

    We have a few team members encountering issues when saving PDF files out of Illustrator (running Windows 10 and 11).
    If the file contains spot colors (built from scratch or pulled from library), there's a chance it will convert to solid magenta. The biggest challenge is that the glitch isn't always noticeable on the designer's screen, so sometimes it will get sent to the client without knowing. It's also not always repeatable, so it's difficult to troubleshoot.

  19. 不透明マスクで形状のぬきを定義を設定時、不透明マスクがオブジェクトの不透明度の影響を受ける

    再現手順
    1. 任意の色を付けた矩形の上に任意の形状のオブジェクトを起き白黒グラデーションを指定し、双方を選んで透明パネルにてマスクボタンをクリック。
    2. 背面に大きめの矩形を配置し。1の不透明マスクを適用したオブジェクトと一緒に選択し、グループの抜きを指定する。
    3. 不透明マスクを適用したオブジェクトをダイレクト選択ツールで選択肢。不透明マスクで形状のぬきを定義チェックボックスをチェックすると不透明マスクでグループの抜きが適用された状態になる。
    4. 不透明マスクを適用したオブジェクトの不透明度を調節すると不透明マスクの不透明度も変化し抜きの状態が変化する。しかし、透明パネルでマスクオブジェクトを確認すると不透明度は変化していない。

    期待する結果
    不透明マスクで形状のぬきを定義を設定した場合、被マスクオブジェクトの不透明度に関わらずマスクオブジェクトに設定された状態を保持して抜きを設定する。

    実際の結果
    不透明マスクで形状のぬきを定義を設定したオブジェクトの不透明度の値に不透明マスクの不透明度が影響を受け不透明マスクの状態が変化する。この状態はグループの抜きを設定しない場合と等価である。

    EN
    Step and Reproduce
    1. place an object of any shape on top of a rectangle of any color, specify a black and white gradient, select both objects, and click the mask button in the transparency panel.
    2. Place a larger rectangle on the back, select it together with the object to which the opacity mask is applied (1), and apply Knockout Group.
    3. Select the object to which the opacity mask is applied with the Direct Selection tool. Check the "Opacity & Mask Define Knockout Shape"…
